Working memory, of course, realizes many more functions and is not limited to storing intermediate processing results in complex semantic decoding, as in our approach. In general, working memory is associated with decision making and cognitive control [1]} and is necessary for keeping
task-relevant information active as well as manipulating that information to accomplish behavioral tasks.
There is an emerging consensus that most working memory tasks recruit a network of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and parietal areas in the prefrontal parietal network (PPN). A modern view is that working memory is distributed across the cortex [2]} and we do not argue for any specific brain region for the working memory function discussed in the paper.
